After Action Report

The Jazz squeaked past the Mavericks 94-92. Ugly basketball, but the Jazz did just enough. The Jazz carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Jazz's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. The Jazz rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
